Be it known that I,G1DEON W. Conn, 'of Canton, Fulton county, and State of illinois, haveinvented' a new and useful Improvement inthe Mannenof Constructing Plon'ghs; andI do herebyfd'eclare'thatthe follow. ing isa full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings makingya part of this specificatio'r,1invvhicb- `v Figure 1 is a perspective view. v

Figure 2 is Aa'view showing attachment of s'hoef to beam fm,and the counectionbetween-: andvm.

Figure 3 is a view-showing slot in j'.

Figure 4-is a longitudinal elevation' of standard b and beam am Figure bis a transverse section of band met same points shown in ig. A.`

Figure 6 is a -view of under side of m, showing the adjustableoap aand sl'o't inwhieh works-the holt e.

The invention relates to an improved method of ladjusting plough-beamslboth laterally and vertically, and consists in the use of an adjustable cap,` secured tothe upper endet' tho standard byl a bbltpas'siug through'it,

and working in a slot having an inclined depression to receivothe head of vthe bolt, all arranged as hereinafter 4 .described and setjtorith.4

It further consists in the use of' a segment-facedshoe, secured to the lower corner of heel ofthe-beam, and

working on a plate attached 5to the hundle','as1hcreinufter more fully described., Also, in pivoting the be`am behind the standard, so th`at'it has a greaterhorizontal adjustment.

To enable others skilled inthe'making of ploughs to use my invention, will more particularly describe its construction and operation. i

I provide an adjustable cap, a, with :a-perpendicular mortise to receive the standard b', and-allow, it to workfreely therein. The standard's provided with a. slot, having adepression, 'deepest at lower end, toreceive the head of the'bolt c :isit passes through-the cap, (seetgs. 4 and 5.) 'The heel of the beam is provided with a segment-faced shoe, f, *working on plate g, which is secured to. handle K,s o that the, joint is not materially .l injured by any necessary perpendicular adjustment. Theshoef, secured to` beam m by bol-t la, is'provided with a horizontal'slo't, in whichv the head'ot' bolts is secured. The beam isvv secured to the' cap a by bolts d and e, pivoting ond, which, being in rear of standard, gives moro-scopate the front end of beam in proportion'to movement of the rear .end than'when pivotingat ,the centre of standard'.-

The operation is as follows: .'The bolts a,Z,.e, and t', being 4l'c` osened,`the beam may be adjusted to any point within .its scope, by bolts ce,and working in their slots, andthe beam is'hold firmly infpositionby tightening the bolts. The head of bolt c, fitting in inclined depression,preventstho cap a from being raised when 'plough is at work. l V I do not claim the laterabadjust'ment of the beam separately; but having-described ymy invention, What I do claim, fandcdesire to lsecure by Letters 1:a.i:ent,lis`v` u L .o I l 1.
